Toned legs just a flip flop away
Get longer, leaner-looking legs just by walking around, say the folks at Victoria's Secret. Just buy their FitFlops and you'll burn calories and tone legs with every step. Engineered to engage muscles, lessen joint impact, and absorb shock, these flipper floppers can apparently accomplish the following fitness feats.
- Strengthen and tone muscles in the feet, legs, buttocks, stomach, and back
- Absorb shock on the feet, knees, and back
- Tone and trim the thighs, calves, and glutes
- Recreate the gait of barefoot walking with a built-in micro-wobbleboard workout-enhancing effect
- Improve balance and posture
Sandals tone your butt while you walk
They may not be the most attractive footwear on the planet, but FitFlop sandals offer a potentially unique benefit: a workout while you walk.
Of course, you always get a workout from walking, but the company claims that "The FitFlop's uniquely built multi-density midsole activates muscles midstep to help tone your thighs, your calves and your glutes. In fact, FitFlops are biomechanically engineered to absorb shock, lessen joint strain, and recreate the gait of barefoot walking - but with a powerful new built-in micro-wobbleboard workout-enhancing effect."
All that aside, if you really want to tone your legs and backside, there's plenty of exercises that'll get the job done more quickly than a pair of fancy sandals.
But, if you really don't want to work out, and don't mind having a pair of ugly shoes, maybe the FitFlop is for you.
